“Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather utterly dominated former WBA super world welterweight champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley en route to earning a unanimous decision victory Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Despite being staggered by Mosley (46-6, 39 KOs) in the second round, Mayweather (41-0, 25) managed to nicely recover from the blows and he essentially fought a perfect fight for the remaining ten rounds thereafter.

“You have to give Mayweather credit,” said Brad Sherwood, 29, a resident of South Boston who is employed as a trainer at Gold’s Gym in Medford. “He proved for the first time that he can take a good punch and rebound.”

Immediately upon the conclusion of the match, focus again turned to the prospect of a lucrative Mayweather versus WBO world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs) prizefight.

It’s been nearly three weeks since Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik relinquished his WBC and WBO middleweight championships to Sergio Martinez via unanimous decision and the wounds on his face are still readily visible. 

Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs) was badly bludgeoned by Martinez (45-2-2, 24 KOs) during their matchup and “The Ghost’s” corner has received enormous flak for not managing to close the slices around his eyes. 

“Worst job by a cut man since (Mike) Tyson’s guy against Buster Douglas,” said one Boston trainer from Southie.  

Pavlik’s promoter, Bob Arum, also chimed in with complaints against the native of Youngstown, Ohio’s corner.  

“They need to reevaluate their entire team,” said Arum, who admitted during a 2000 federal trial that he is a bribing and corruptible snake.

Former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world “Iron” Mike Tyson was recently interviewed by Michael Kay of the Yes Network for a segment of CenterStage that will air on May 26.

“Sometimes I’m filthy. I’m wretched,” said Tyson, 43, who remains the youngest man in history to ever capture the heavyweight crowns. “And sometimes I’m not so bad. Mike Tyson ain’t nothing special. Just another human being, trying to get along.”

Tyson (50-6-0-2, 44 KOs) is wrong because he is, and he always will be, “special.”

“Iron Mike” was an enormously skilled boxer who, on a given evening in the peak of his career, could have trumped any pugilist in the annals of the sport.

It’s been nearly two weeks since Tomasz “Granite Chin” Adamek defeated Chris “The Nightmare” Arreola by a majority decision at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA.

Adamek (41-1, 27 Kos) is now on a crusade to fight any titlist available on the heavyweight landscape.

“I am ready for everybody” said Adamek, 33, who dedicated his victory over Arreola (28-2, 25 KOs) to those who perished April 10 in the plane crash near Smolensk Airport in western Russia.

Adamek has specifically concentrated his focus on WBA champ David Haye (24-1, 22 KOs), WBC titlist Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KOs) and IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine king Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KOs).

“I am positive if the fight against David Haye comes to fruition, two things, speed and my precision will prevail,” said Adamek, who has now won ten consecutive bouts. “So this will be a very interesting fight. You shouldn’t worry about how the fight will look. It will be a very exciting fight.”

Disgraced and despicable cheater Antonio “Tijuana Tornado” Margarito defeated fellow-Mexican Robert Garcia by unanimous decision Saturday night in Aguascalientes, Mexico.  

Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs), who fought his first match since he was pinched attempting to barbarically scrap with loaded gloves in February 2009, utterly dominated and outclassed the overmatched Garcia (28-3, 21 KOs). 

Garcia is simply an inferior pugilist to Margarito and the “Tijuana Tornado” made that immediately evident when he knocked him to the canvas with a right-left-right combination in the first two minutes of their 10-round bout. 

The California State Athletic Commission justifiably revoked Margarito’s boxing license in February 2009 after the devious Mexican was snagged preparing to battle former WBA welterweight super champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley (46-6, 39 KOs) with a plaster-like substance inside his hand wraps.

Former two-time WBO welterweight champion Paul “The Punisher” Williams defeated Kermit “The Killer” Cintron by a controversial technical split decision Saturday night at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. 

After a blasé start to the bout, Williams (39-1, 27 KOs) and Cintron (32-3-1, 28 KOs) finally began to exhibit some of their renowned punching power in the early portion of the fourth round. 

Unfortunately, after one exciting exchange, Williams slipped to the canvas and Cintron tripped over “The Punisher’s” left-leg and violently tumbled through the ropes and hit his head on both a monitor and table. 

Despite Cintron’s pleas to continue, the fight was justifiably halted and “The Killer” was strapped to a stretcher and rushed to the back for an examination.

NABO and IBA heavyweight boxing champion James “Lights Out” Toney is near finalizing a contract to fight UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture in the octagon at UFC 118 at Boston’s TD Garden on August 28.  

At this juncture, the only minor obstacle preventing the contest regards what weight the fight will be contested at. 

Nevertheless, both sides agree that the matchup will ultimately be cemented at either 215 or 220 pounds.  

Toney (72-6-3-2, 44 KOs), named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in both 1991 and 2003, was a very skilled prizefighter who won titles in multiple weight classes.  

However, Toney is also a portly specimen, in the mold of the character “Precious,” who was twice pinched for using the steroids boldenone and stanozolol.

WBA world light welterweight champion Amir “King” Khan will fight WBO and NABO light welterweight titlist Paul “The Magic Man” Malignaggi Saturday at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

Khan (22-1, 16 KOs), a British Pakistani boxer who became the youngest Englishman to win an Olympic medal when he captured a silver as a lightweight at the 2004 games in Greece, is a prizefighter with unlimited potential and abilities.  

“I could have stayed in the UK,” said Khan, 23, the third youngest Brit in history to ever win a crown. “But I want to make a name for myself and Paulie is the guy I’m going to use to be a big star over here.” 

Malignaggi (27-3, 5 KOs), an Italian-American from Brooklyn who is the former IBF junior welterweight champ, is absolutely a polarizing prizefighter and it is understandable that many fans consider him to be a scorching hemorrhoid.

WBA world light welterweight champion Amir “King” Khan pulverized Paul “The Magic Man” Malignaggi by an 11th round TKO Saturday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

Khan (23-1, 17 KOs), a British citizen of Pakistani descent who became the youngest Englishman to win an Olympic medal when he captured a silver as a lightweight at the 2004 games in Greece, thoroughly dominated Malignaggi (27-4, 5 KOs) in his United States debut before referee Steve Smoger mercifully halted the bludgeoning.  

“Me and (trainer) Freddie (Roach) stuck to the game plan. Paulie is a very awkward fighter. We had to break him down slowly,” said Khan, 23, the third youngest Brit to ever win a crown. “We had to use our brain. I knew in the last few rounds I was hurting him. All I had to do was put the pressure on him.”

Venezuelan  authorities exhumed the body of former WBC lightweight champion “El Terminator” Edwin Valero last week to dispel rumors regarding the cause of his death. 

“El Terminator’s” siblings, Edward and Luis Valero, believe that the fuzz that took the murderous wife-beater into custody may have strangled their brother to death. 

So, a forensic investigation will now be conducted to officially determine the cause of his ultimate demise. 

Valero (27-0, 27 KOs) likely committed suicide in his Venezuelan prison cell on the morning of April 19 a mere day after he admitted that he mortally stabbed his wife, Jennifer Viera, in a hotel in Valencia the prior night. 

Venezuelan Federal Police Chief Wilmer Flores told reporters that Valero used his clothes to hang himself to death at a police lockup in north-central Carabobo state.

Speculation persists that former IBF junior welterweight champion Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi will retire from boxing after he was pounded by WBA world light welterweight champion Amir “King” Khan via 11th round TKO last Saturday night at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  

Khan (23-1, 17 KOs) thoroughly dominated Malignaggi (27-4, 5 KOs) in his United States debut before referee Steve Smoger mercifully halted the bludgeoning. 

“I ran into a clone of myself when I was younger. But he was faster and stronger,” said Malignaggi, 29, whose only three previous losses came at the respected hands of Miguel Cotto (34-2, 27 KOs), Ricky Hatton (45-2, 32 KOs) and Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KOs). “He’s bigger and stronger. But I gave it all I had.”
